I hope everyone is enjoying and relaxing today

 

[Sincity09]

Glad you are feeling better

 

[Sincity09]

Ty yes

It kicked my ass pretty good for two weeks. Docs don’t seem to like giving out antibiotics so by day 10 I pretty much demanded them, and it cleared up within two days of taking them. Needless obstinance.

Oh well, now I can finally enjoy some spring weather

Thanks. While it went well, no answers. This next week will be busy with more appointments and tests.

Glad you're feeling better and able to enjoy the weather!

I’m sure you’ll come out with flying colours

Happy Sunday!!! Cup #1 is done and #2 is coming up. Making the list for grocery shooping (like Lisa Douglas would say.) Rain is on its way, and it ain't gettin' very warm here today.


So it looks like my s'ghetti sauce isn't quite so lame but might could use some different ingredients. Maybe I'm being too hard on it. Maybe I should cook some today since it's chillier.

It's cooler here today, too. Yesterday was 70s; today is 50s.

You should make your sauce how you like it!

Look at Fred hanging out on the car!

 

[Sincity09]

It’s funny, but after being sick with the flu, now that I’m better, I feel like I have double the energy and lots to catch up on. Hormones are in overdrive too (sorry for the tmi lol)

 

[Lilianna23]

I woke up tired at 7 and I am desperate to go back to sleep. But I have people stopping by....ugh

It's the day of rest! Try to get some so you're ready for tomorrow!

 

[Lilianna23]

How do you keep the slow cooked gravy from being too sweet?

I never put any sugar in my sauce.

 

[Lilianna23]

Just made my wife an omelette with toast in bed.

One good turn deserves another…

Coffee, busy day yesterday and busier day today.

That must have been a GOOD turn she gave you!

Beautiful!

This morning the bread was sourdough. This afternoon the bread is a multigrain - oat, wheat, sunflower and sesame flours.

I plan to make vegetable barley soup!

That sounds wonderful! Did you make your own sourdough starter?

 

[Wonderer67]

That must have been a GOOD turn she gave you!

It did not suck.

On second thought, it kinda did!

My never fail recipe for gravy/marinara sauce/sketti sauce.

1/3 -1/2 c of olive oil
Sautee the following in the bottom of a pot
3 good heaping tbsp of basil (fresh is best)
3 tbsp of oregano
3 tbs of parsley
2 fresh garlic minced (you can used powdered if you need to, just don’t tell me)
1/2 an onion finely diced

Sauté the above until it turns very slightly brown. (You have to be careful at this point because it’s easy to get the herbs to burn… have your three cans of crushed tomatoes open and at the ready…)

(Some people might add a little bit of red wine)

Then quickly add 3-4 cans of crushed tomatoes.

Simmer on low heat for ~2 hours and keep stirring to avoid burning.

(You can cook it for as little as 30-45 mins but I think the flavor really comes out with a longer simmer)

Salt and pepper to taste.

This sounds good! Mine is similar except I cook the meat first then add the herbs and veg. We like onions so I always add one large onion, rough diced. I might add a bit more garlic. And wine. Always wine!

Good Morning everyone & Afternoon and Evening, respectively

Hi, there! How's your Sunday?

 

[Lilianna23]

Good morning from Ontario m68

Hi!

 

[Lilianna23]

There was Serious Sidetrackage. Lunch with the Fraternal Unit. We needed to catch up and we did.


Likely as not, sauce for tomorrow.

It's nice that he's so close to you!

Are you feeling better? Well now?

 

[Wat_Tyler]

It's nice that he's so close to you!

Actually, this hasn't happened in way too long. He got married and stayed that way - and away some. I got divorced and did a bit of milling around in my own black sheep kind of way.

 

[Sincity09]

better!

Amoxicillin for the win! Lol

The reason antibiotics are withheld is because they are completely ineffective for viral infections. You probably had a bacterial infection on top of the viral infection. It happens when your body is weakened from the virus, bacteria then invade.

Overuse of antibiotics has lead to increasing strains of antibiotic resistant bacteria. They will cause our extinction.

Glad you're better. Still, be nice to yourself. Take it easy for a while!

So frustrating when you can't find the answers! I'm sorry, hun!

Hi Lilianna how is your weekend going?

It's good! Doing all the Spring things!

How is yours?
